Sad to see From licensing their good name to someone like Tencent. Be prepared to see some predatory shovelware

- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.
You know there are people at tencent unironically thinking "People were happy with how unmonetized Elden Ring was. How can we monetize that satisfaction?"
Usually, the devs aren't thinking that, management is and that's what's shoveled downward. Still people at tencent, but I imagine it's not everyone ludicrously evil.
Still, this is a reminder not to get too attached to any particular developer. Doesn't matter how sincerely dedicated to producing fun and satisfying experiences From is: when Tencent talks, they have to listen.

FROM's and Elden Ring's good names will be forever tarnished with this bullshit. Even if, and it's a big if, this turns out to be a decent port it still feels really, really gross. This is really disappointing.
My first instinct was to check if this was an Onion article...
I definitely didn't have Elden Ring gets a gotcha game on mobile on my 2024 bingo card.
I still don’t believe it’s not an Onion article. Absolutely daft.
Should call it Elden Ring Ring Ring

I am very excited to not play this game.
I actually just ordered a physical copy the other day, I'm finally in the mood to play it. I was surprised it was $50 but still, NO RAGRETS.
I mean I also want cheaper games but if gtav and skyrim still sell for upwards of $40 or $50 then elden ring should be at least that much lol
Yeah, I don't mind it for Elden Ring. Souls games have their way of getting me to do back to back playthroughs, something I rarely do with most games, so I know I'm going to get my money's worth.
Did they ate the Hard Drive?
I just threw up in my mouth a little
